I've been thinking.... I'm an active member of my town/states model un and I'm truly in love with the organization. It's the most fun I've ever had.

Anyway, I was wondering if I made a site that would have forums that would model the UN where members could join as a country, and there would be a secretary general and the forum directories would be the different UN committees (there would be off topic discussion too), and issues that arise are posted in the corresponding forum. Then countries debate away and propose resolutions and what not, and we'll have voting procedures and whatnot go on, just like model UN and just like the real UN.

If I made a site like this would anyone be interested in joining?

I belive that there is already a site kind of like the one that you're describing. I can't think of the name off the top of my head, but its free and allows to to make your own country and request admission to the U.N..

If you were to make a realistic U.N.-like site that was diffrent from the above site, I'd probably feel compelled to join.

Yes, sounds like a cool idea. It would be interesting to participate in such a site.

Count me in.

Well that sounds like a really cool idea. I would definately join. I think it would be cool to try and run a country. Would we be allowed to have people under us as part of our country like a vice president and stuff? That would be cool. Then we could maybe have other people in the population and can build an army or something. I don't know. Maybe just the debate thing would be good.

Thanks so much for the feedback!

Well I was thinking more of people registering as current real countries to make it more realistic, but I might allow made up countries to join, too. The thing I like about registering as real countries is that we could realistically tackle world problems... and although I'm quite a dreamer, maybe, if we really had a good solution, then we could submit it to a UN delegate, or to some government, and maybe just MAYBE we could make a difference.

Anyway, would you all still want to join if registration was limited to a real country?

Yeah, it sounds interesting. I´ll probably check it out.

Thanks. Well this sounds like it'll get some members. I'll register a subdomain now, and work on it, and then when I get it developed in a month or so I'll get the top level domain.
---------------------------------------------

edit.

just a quick question, if we want to get register another subdomain for our account do we need to get a request approved or can we just go ahead and do it through the cpanel?

-------------------------
what, like the third or fourth edit? after opaque's post.

I would never give out my DOMAIN name suggestions If I were in your place. The net is an open place and it has no firewall for evil people :-)

I hope you get my friendly point

Ahh, thanks for watching my back opaque! Thanks!

but I'm still wondering if we need to request to get another subdomain like something.trap17.com
